The cost

Who pays for it? Local businesses.

Your AGS rep team works with you to pick the restaurants, RV repair shops, attractions and other local services your guests need, then sells those businesses ad space in your park's guest guide. Those ads cover the cost, so your park receives its printed guest guides at no charge.

AGS and your rep team

  • Sell the ads to local businesses
  • Design and lay out your guest guide
  • Print it in full color

Your park

Your rep team

Your guest guide comes with a rep team.

Real people who stay at your park, go over your sites, rules and amenities with you, then call on local businesses in town in person.

Benefits of being an AGS park

More than a guest guide.

AGS parks also get extras for the front desk and for marketing the park.

  • Your guest guide online

    A digital copy of your park's guest guide for your website, plus a listing on EnhancedCamping.com, a national camping website.

  • Front desk extras

    Extra area maps to keep at the front desk, plus wallboards to post around the park, included with your guest guide.

  • AGS Loyalty Dollars

    When ad sales reach a set target, your park earns AGS Loyalty Dollars to spend on rack cards, uniform shirts, promo items and more.

  • Giving back

    A portion of each ad sale goes to charities AGS supports, and parks can give their AGS Loyalty Dollars to a charity they choose.

Paper, ink and trees

Hand it out and feel good about it.

You hand your guest guide to guests at check-in, so you should feel good about what it's printed on. AGS prints guest guides on recycled paper with soy-based ink and helps plant trees through One Tree Planted.

  • Cover of the Chris' Camp guest guide, Spearfish, South Dakota (opens in a new tab)

    Professional from the first day. AGS has developed our site maps for almost 20 years. Our customers appreciate the information for check in and throughout their stay. The advertising is nice for guests to find restaurants or locations around the area.

Questions

Questions about your park's guest guide.

Answers on cost, timing and what your park provides.

Does my park qualify?

AGS qualifies each park mainly on its annual check-ins and the local businesses around it. More check-ins give advertisers more reach, which makes it easier to sell the ads that pay for a guest guide. Parks that recommend local businesses to their guests also tend to do well. Tell AGS about your park or call 877-518-1989, and we'll talk it through.

Can a small or remote RV park get a guest guide?

Small or remote RV parks can qualify for an AGS guest guide when their staff actively recommend local businesses. AGS works with parks that seem small and remote but carry dozens of ads, because the park displays menus and sends guests to town. A long-term-stay park with few check-ins a year may do better with a one-page, two-sided piece.

Who pays for an AGS guest guide?

Local businesses pay for an AGS guest guide by buying ads in it. Your rep team sells the ads, and those ads cover the cost, so your park receives its printed guest guides at no charge. Advertisers own their ads, not the guest guide. The guest guide belongs to your park.

What does my park have to pay or provide?

A park that qualifies pays nothing for its printed AGS guest guides and gives an AGS rep team a complimentary stay in exchange. Your park also spends time with the rep team and shares its sites, rules and amenities. AGS sells the ads, then designs and prints the guest guide, and your staff hands it out at check-in.

What does an AGS rep team do when they visit our park?

An AGS rep team stays at your park, works with you on the guest guide, then sells ads to local businesses in town. They go over your sites, rules and amenities with you, and you help pick the restaurants, RV repair shops, attractions and other services your guests need. Then they call on those businesses in person, so your staff doesn't have to.

Do we get to approve our guest guide before it prints?

Your park gets a proof of its AGS guest guide before it prints. Use the proof to check your site map, park rules, amenities and contact details, and tell AGS what needs to change. The guest guide belongs to your park, so its rules and policies stay in your words.

How long does it take to get our guest guides?

AGS guest guides print about 60 days after your rep team finishes selling ads to local businesses. The clock starts when the ads are sold, not when you first call AGS, so the total time depends on when your rep team visits. Ask AGS about timing when you talk through your park, or call 877-518-1989.

How often is a guest guide reprinted?

AGS prints each park's guest guide once a year. New ads and changes wait for the next print run, because AGS doesn't reprint a guest guide mid-cycle. When the next cycle comes around, an AGS rep team comes back to build the new guest guide with you and talk with local businesses about their ads.

What's the difference between a site map and a guest guide?

A site map is a simple one-page, two-sided piece with a park map and rules, while a guest guide is a multipage piece that also covers the community. An AGS guest guide adds local attractions, detailed area maps and ads from local businesses. Those ads cover the cost, so a qualifying park pays nothing for it.

Can I see a sample guest guide first?

You can see a complete AGS guest guide before you decide. Page through the sample guest guides on this page, with site maps, park rules and local ads.

Are AGS guest guides printed on recycled paper?

AGS prints park guest guides on recycled paper with soy-based ink. Soy-based ink gives your park's photos and maps bright, vibrant color on every page of your guest guide. AGS also helps plant trees through the organization One Tree Planted (opens in a new tab).

How does the AGS Loyalty Program work?

The AGS Loyalty Program gives parks credit, called AGS Loyalty Dollars, when ad sales in their guest guide reach a set target. Parks spend them on rack cards, uniform shirts, advertising, promo items and more, or give them to a charity they choose. Ask AGS what your park has available at 877-518-1989.
